Meghan Reportedly ‘Paranoid' Charles Is ‘Working to Break' Her & Harry Up as the Prince Reconciles With His Father
RadarOnline.com is reporting that Markle is scared that King Charles will use divorce as a 'bribery card' and make it a condition for their reconciliation. A source even told the outlet, 'She firmly believes the royals are scheming to drive a wedge between her and Harry.' King Charles and Prince Harry's aides recently met, in what has been painted as a first step towards father and son possibly restarting their relationship.

'Meghan knows it's wise for them to rebuild ties with the royals, but the pace of it all has left her rattled,' a source said. 'She feels like things are slipping out of her hands, especially now that Harry's calling the shots without checking in with her the way he once did.'
The source also added. 'She's afraid the royals are trying to win Harry back while sidelining her in the process. She's made it clear to him that he has to respect their partnership and not shut her out of these decisions.'
Prince Harry is said to be pushing for a reconciliation with his father, which is why a meeting between their aides took place. The Prince even said in a recent BBC interview, 'There's no point in continuing to fight anymore. Life is precious. I don't know how much longer my father has. He won't speak to me because of this security stuff. But it would be nice to reconcile.'
Of course, the rush seems to have to do with King Charles' health. A few months ago, News Nation Now reported the King's health situation was delicate. 'Charles is indeed a sick man, and he does have cancer,' a source told them. 'He also refused chemotherapy and decided on a less invasive treatment. While Harry and his dad aren't speaking, Harry would be aware of all of this via back channels.'
The Prince has also said he would like to reconcile with his brother William, though so far there have been no public steps towards reconciliation for the two.
One insider said about Meghan Markle's mindset about this. 'Harry's stepped up to handle the talks himself, partly because he knows Meghan, despite his love for her, can be perceived as confrontational. But this whole situation is way outside her comfort zone, and she's increasingly paranoid the royals are working to break them up.'
Sources also indicate, for Markle, the parallels to Diana are a source of worry. 'As the reconciliation process moves forward, parallels to the Queen's direct and uncompromising letter to Charles and Diana loom large,' they indicate. 'With old wounds still fresh, Meghan's anxiety centers on whether history might repeat itself – and whether her partnership may once again be deemed expendable in service of royal repair.'
We don't know how this reconciliation will go, or if it will even take place, but hopefully, there's a way forward for the family that allows for everyone to get along.

A former Rolling Stone says the Met has his stolen guitar. The museum disputes it
LONDON (AP) — It's only rock 'n' roll, but it's messy. A guitar once played by two members of the Rolling Stones is at the center of a dispute between the band's former guitarist Mick Taylor and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The 1959 Gibson Les Paul was donated to the Met as part of what the New York museum calls 'a landmark gift of more than 500 of the finest guitars from the golden age of American guitar making.' The donor is Dirk Ziff, a billionaire investor and guitar collector. When the Met announced the gift in May, Taylor thought he recognized the guitar, with its distinctive 'starburst' finish, as an instrument he last saw in 1971, when the Stones were recording the album 'Exile on Main St.' at Keith Richards' rented villa in the south of France. In the haze of drugs and rock 'n' roll that pervaded the sessions, a number of instruments went missing, believed stolen. Now, Taylor and his team believe it has reappeared. The Met says provenance records show no evidence the guitar ever belonged to Taylor. 'This guitar has a long and well-documented history of ownership,' museum spokesperson Ann Ballis said. Taylor's partner and business manager, Marlies Damming, said the Met should make the guitar 'available for inspection.' 'An independent guitar expert should be able to ascertain the guitar's provenance one way or the other,' she said in a statement to The Associated Press. While its ownership is contested, there's no disputing the instrument's starring role in rock history. It was owned in the early 1960s by Keith Richards, who played it during the Rolling Stones' first appearance on 'The Ed Sullivan Show' in 1964. The Met says that performance 'ignited interest in this legendary model.' The guitar – nicknamed the 'Keithburst' – was also played by guitar legends Eric Clapton and Jimmy Page. Taylor says he got it from Richards in 1967, two years before he joined the Stones, replacing original member Brian Jones. Jones died in 1969. Taylor left the band in 1974, reuniting with them for the Stones' 50th anniversary tour in 2012-2013. Jeff Allen, who was Taylor's manager and publicist for decades from the 1990s, said Taylor 'told me he got it as a present from Keith,' and also mentioned the theft. 'Mick did tell me that the guitar solo that he became quite famous for, on 'Can't You Hear Me Knocking,' was with the Les Paul that got stolen,' Allen said. The Met's records say the Les Paul was owned by Richards until 1971, when it was acquired by record producer and manager Adrian Miller, who died in 2006. The guitar has changed hands several times since then, and reappeared twice in public. It was put up for auction by Christie's in 2004, when it failed to sell. Ziff bought it in 2016, and loaned it to the Met in 2019 for an exhibition titled 'Play it Loud: Instruments of Rock & Roll.' It's unclear what will happen next. The Met, which plans to open a new gallery dedicated to its collection of American guitars, says it has not been contacted by Taylor or his representatives. ___ Associated Press writer Jocelyn Noveck in New York contributed to this story.

Where Was 'Wednesday' Filmed?
On Location peels back the curtain on some of your favorite films, television shows, and more. Dark, deadpan, and fabulously glossy—Netflix's Wednesday, a spin-off of The Addams Family, quickly found its place as one of 2022's most zeitgeisty hits. In the days following its release, the series surpassed Stranger Things as the most-watched new series in its week of release, racking up 341.2 million hours of watch time across the world. The series stars Jenna Ortega (Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, You) as the eponymous Wednesday, the daughter of Gomez and Morticia Addams (played by Luis Guzmán and Catherine Zeta-Jones). The series follows Wednesday as she enrolls at Nevermore Academy, a school for outcasts, after she's expelled from her high school for an incident involving piranhas, the school swimming pool and the boys' water polo team. Wednesday. (L to R) Steve Buscemi as Barry Dort, Catherine Zeta-Jones as Morticia Addams, Jenna Ortega as Wednesday Addams, Isaac Ordonez as Pugsley Addams, Joonas Suotamo as Lurch, Luis Guzmán as Gomez Addams in episode 201 of Wednesday. Cr. Jonathan Hession/Netflix © 2025 Netflix Despite the speedy recommission from Netflix, season two of the smash-hit series has been three years in the making. However, fans are treated to a host of new famous faces during the new adventures, including Joanna Lumley as Grandmama Hester Frump and Billie Piper as Isadora Capri. Principal photography for the second series began in May 2024 in Ireland, with shooting taking place over six months. While much of Wednesday's first outing made use of Romania's Gothic backdrops, it was Ireland that the production team turned to this time around. On the team's decision to shoot in Ireland, showrunner Miles Millar said, 'Everything about Ireland fits the sensibility of the show. We have incredible woods. We have beautiful castles. We have the lush greens, the gray skies. Even though it was summer, some nights were very cold. We were shivering, but it looked fantastic. There's something very magical about the light in Ireland that really lends itself to the show and gives it something that's very unique and special that translates to the screen. Even though the show is set in Vermont, it makes it feel more aesthetically like a Tim Burton setting.' Where was Wednesday season 2 filmed? Wednesday. Joanna Lumley as Grandmama in episode 204 of Wednesday. Cr. Owen Behan/Netflix © 2025 Netflix Ashford Studios Much of Wednesday's second season was filmed at Ashford Studios in Ireland's Wicklow County. The studio offers various spaces spanning up to 30,000 square feet—a series of spaces currently under construction will span an additional 170,000 square feet.

Pamela Anderson Responds to Meghan Markle Plagiarism Claim
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Pamela Anderson has shot down allegations Meghan Markle plagiarized her cooking show during an interview on live TV. The Duchess of Sussex debuted With Love, Meghan on Netflix in March, but some online critics suggested the idea was a copy of Anderson's show, Pamela's Cooking With Love. Andy Cohen asked the Naked Gun actor whether she agreed during her appearance on his show Watch What Happens Live. Meghan Markle smiles during a photo posted on Instagram to mark her birthday by her lifestyle brand As Ever on August 4, 2025. Meghan Markle smiles during a photo posted on Instagram to mark her birthday by her lifestyle brand As Ever on August 4, 2025. As Ever/Instagram Why It Matters Meghan's Netflix show has faced a barrage of criticism from reviewers across the U.S. media as well as the many social media users who routinely mock the duchess. And Meghan's five-year deal with the streaming giant ends in September, raising questions about whether it will be renewed. In that context, Meghan might well find it something of a relief to hear someone come to her defense. What To Know Cohen, previously a guest on Meghan's first podcast Archetypes, asked Anderson: "On a scale from one to 10, how much of a rip-off did you feel like With Love, Meghan was of your show, Pamela's Cooking With Love? There were articles saying that these two shows were very similar." Anderson replied: "One. I didn't." Cohen said: "One? On a scale from one to 10, you did not see any similarities?" Pamela about being compared to "With love,Meghan" — That 1 (@ihtiandrs12) August 4, 2025 "No," Anderson replied. "I didn't really look, but I mean I didn't invent cooking shows. She's just doing her thing." A clip of the exchange was viewed more than 92,000 times after being on X with the message: "Pamela about being compared to 'With love, Meghan.'" What People Are Saying One post on social media read: "Meghan Markle copied Pamela Andersons gestures right down to hand-movements in her Netflix show." Another account wrote: "Meghan Markle's With Love, Meghan vs. Pamela Anderson's Pamela's Cooking With Love? The difference couldn't be clearer. One is a genuine celebration of food, family, and authenticity, while the other is a shallow, copy cat attempt to sell a polished image." Meghan Markle's "With Love, Meghan" vs. Pamela Anderson's "Pamela's Cooking With Love"? The difference couldn't be clearer. One is a genuine celebration of food, family, and authenticity, while the other is a shallow, copy cat attempt to sell a polished image. Pamela's show... — Meghan Markle Parody (@queenofmemes80) February 24, 2025 "Pamela's show exudes warmth. She highlights chefs and their craft, focusing on family, making it relatable to anyone who values good company and fresh home-cooked meals. It's down-to-earth, inviting, and real." Others defended the duchess, with one writing: "The British Media fetish of creating imaginary enemies and scenario about Meghan Sussex and EVERY Famous Person, that walks this earth needs to be studied. So happy Pamela Anderson & Gwyneth Paltrow didn't entertain the #TBM and the never ending fantasies they continue to create." Another said: "She also said she didn't invent cooking shows, & Meghan is doing her thing. Absolutely. Meghan is doing her own thing. She's living life on her terms. Good on Pamela for refusing to join in the hate campaign against Meghan. It's nice to see there's still decent & honest people about." What Happens Next Meghan has until September to renegotiate the Netflix TV deal she signed with Prince Harry in September 2020. Netflix is also an equity partner in her lifestyle business As Ever, which launches its latest wine, a 2024 rosé, on Tuesday. Jack Royston is chief royal correspondent for Newsweek, based in London.
